| Counting Crows at Bowery Ballroom |

Contributed By: McKay
Created On: Thursday, 14 February 2008 Hits: 105  Counting Crows The band kicked off the main set with 1999's "Colorblind," followed by "Have You Seen Me Lately" from 1996's "Recovering the Satellites." Both were fan favorites judging by the lusty sing along from the assembled masses. Looking fit and relaxed and often stopping to joke with the crowd, frontman Adam Duritz led the band through a series of hits from their four previous studio records, including "Rain King," "Miami," "Round Here," and "A Long December." The answer became clear when the band came back after an encore break and announced that, instead of a traditional encore, they would be playing almost the entire new record, with lengthy intros preceding each song. The album, which is due in March, is broken into two parts. "Saturday Night" deals with excess and hitting rock bottom, and "Sunday Morning" which deals with the repercussions of that lifestyle. Highlights from "Saturday Morning" at the show included "Los Angeles" and "Cowboys." The "Sunday Morning" portion of the setlist kicked off with "Washington Square" and continued with the band's first single from the new record, "You Can't Count on Me." By the time they closed with "Come Around," they had been on-stage for almost two hours and while the new material was impressive, the band's stamina was even more so. Share this article to:        |
